they're not great, but its not worth turning down the car because of them.

[riz]

[Saner]

If there top of the range Falkens then they are more than half decent

[brisa4984]

ive had them on my 172. good tyre i reckon. obviously not the best but decent.

good tyers there only bad when its been dry for ages and its a little damp as the grease comes out on the road, (arnt all tyres) ive never had problems with them 45quid a corner for 195/45/15's topshit never had problems untill they were bald

I have Firenza (which are made by falcon) on my 182 just as good as the old michellins that were on there in the dry. Not as good in the wet though lol!

What did you have before. Just how awful are they?

 

[Bill_s13]

It depends what model they are really - I have FK452's on my 200sx and they are very good , used to have ZE512's on my XR2 and they were also pretty good.

Certainly wouldn't say they are bad tyres.

 

[rich-6]

ZX512s? I have them on mine, Dont rate them all that TBH i had them on the saxo and didnt rate them on that either,

I only have them though because i bought the car with them fitted, Their good on hard launches up til you have to change gear then they allow it to torque steer allover, When they've gone Its F1s (which i had and love on my 306) or the PE2s

 

[Laura]

i have them on my 172, reet in the dry ,gash in the damp ok in the wet,

i had F1s on before and i rate them better than them tho as i hated them

i have them at the moment on my 182 in 205/45/16. they are not bad. certainly not terrible! pretty good in the dry, a bit slippery in the wet. they last as long as any other tyre. am due for some new tyres soon and i will be getting yoko parada's. at least i can say i have tried the falkens, and i would go back if i was on a bit of a budget! i would rate the falken's 5/10 and the yoko parada's 7.5/10

kuhmo, did have contis but i did not want to pay the price as i was skint so fot some kuhmos for £25 a corner, they are better in the dry than the contis but bit dangerous in the wet:dapprove:

I'm sure my M3 was clad with Faulken tyres, the E36 brigade swore by them at the time.

Don't they own yokohama or vice versa?
